WebJunction's rootsIn 2002, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded OCLC a grant to build an online community for libraries and other organizations that provide open access to technology and information. WebJunction is the result of that effort, thanks to the collaborative work of five organizations: the Colorado State Library, The Benton Foundation, Isoph, TechSoup and OCLC. The initiative is part of the Foundation's visionary Library Program, which has provided more than 40,000 computers and Internet access to more than 11,000 libraries across the U.S. and Canada.
